The Routing Center of Excellence is an advanced engineering team at HERE tasked with delivering core routing functionality, constantly improving our routing algorithms and services. We care about the software design, elegant algorithms, performance, and scalability of our solutions. We are using modern C++ 17 for our core algorithms, building our robust, scalable, distributed REST services in Rust, deploying them in K8s, using Python for data-driven quality analysis, and Scala/ Apache Spark for data processing. If you want to be on the technology edge and solve real-world logistics and vehicle routing problems.
